Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

I have had my DTXpress 2 for over a year and a half now,my PCY 65S 
has been playing up for a while now,my TP 65S has gone from a 3 zone 
to a 2 zone and my HH 65 died on me earlier this week,and the 
replacement HH 65 cost me £63.

I personaly think its time to upgrade my pads to mesh heads now I 
have heard that Pintech will be opening a warehouse in the UK....at 
last.

Have any of your pads or pedals lasted only a matter of weeks,and 
what is the lifespan of the majority of pads and pedals,I do 
understand than in some ways it depends on how much you play the 
kit,but for a few hours a day,I would have thought that these would 
have lasted that much longer.


Thoughts please..............
